Not sure about "dying down", there's one Live NWN2 server, still four Live NWN1 servers, besides an OAS1 & OAS2, and a few beta NWN2 servers. I assume few other PW projects can say that.
I am used to seeing the community be more active in the winter than the summer, some times of year lend better to huddling up with a computer than others... though there are plenty of dedicated builders at it, no matter what.
Maybe see you in game some time man, lots of building and hak updates have happened in NWN1 (so if rejoining there, will need to do some downloading)... and obviously, all of the NWN2 stuff will be new to you as well if that's where your interest lies.
Cheers.

The drama is flaring up every now and then, but underneath the crap is a healthy community, plenty of constructive participation and a handful of servers.
We're good, welcome back.
